This spring, CommonWealth Kitchen (CWK) turned a seasonal challenge into a triple win for local farms, our food system, and our communities. Thousands of pounds of surplus kale and garlic scapes were about to go to waste—so we put them to work.
CWK bought nearly 1,500 pounds of surplus produce from six Massachusetts farms and, with help from Boston Food Hub, turned it into thousands of pounds of fresh, nut-free pesto made right in our Dorchester kitchen.
It’s more than delicious—it’s a real model of food equity and sustainability. Many of the farms we buy from are BIPOC- and immigrant-owned, reflecting our mission to expand market access and build a more equitable food economy.
Your 2025 gift makes this possible—and supports everything from emergency food programs to small business development to healthier school meals.
